Useless Product Innovations

Americans have become so overly bloated that now even our paper products need plus-size accommodations. Charmin has come out with a roll of toilet paper so big it requires an adapter just to fit in the bathroom. The Mega Roll holds the TP of four regular rolls, giving it a girth beyond the capacity of the standard TP holder. Charmin bills this innovation as the answer for those who are tired of changing the roll so often. Really, here. Changing the roll? On the continuum of housework drudgery, changing the roll of TP barely registers. Now, if they could come out with something so I don't have to dust my ceiling fans or clean dead bug carcasses out of the light fixtures as often.

I think it is a terrific idea then I will only have to put up a new roll every third day instead every other day. Just think combine this with Kimberly Clark's idea to mark toilet paper so you know how much to use and this could lead to some real conservation.

Obviously you do not share a bathroom with 2 children whose "mother" did not teach them proper bathroom habits and seem to require practically an entire regular roll of TP per trip to the loo. However, the advantage to the smaller rolls in this case is damage control to the wallet when purchasing TP.

Emperor Penguin, doesn't everyone talk to their TP? :) Ann O.
